I just wanted to clear up some glaring misconceptions you had about how chess programs and disk caches work. I'm sorry that you don't understand exactly how your chess programs use memory, but I don't see why you get so upset about it. For all we know, Fritz uses twice as much memory as it reports, or Shredder only uses pawn hash tables every other Tuesday, etc. Different programs work differently. Find settings that are appropriate and forget about it. Cheers, Tom
